Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly used in the data analysis of physics experiments. In IceCube, such networks are used for various tasks like classification for particle identification or regression tasks like reconstructing the direction and energy of particles. In the context of adversarial attacks, it has been observed that imperceptible changes to the input of DNNs can alter the...

Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) — like the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) — observe extensive air showers initiated by gamma rays and cosmic rays (CRs) when interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere. IACTs image the distribution of Cherenkov light emitted by air shower particles as they propagate toward the Earth’s surface. The traditional reconstructions of the...

The proposed Einstein Telescope is the first of the third-generation gravitational wave detectors. It is expected to reach a noise level at least an order of magnitude lower than current interferometers like LIGO and Virgo. The thus improved sensitivity increases the observable volume and extends the time window in which the inspiral of binary systems is measurable. To analyze the resulting...

One of the biggest challenges in processing Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) astronomy data is avoiding as much light of the night sky background (NSB) caused by noise fluctuations, e.g. electronic noise or starlight, as possible while still keeping enough shower light to be able to reconstruct information about the gamma ray. In the current generation of IACTs, one of the...

The radiation from astrophysical sources such as blazars originates mainly from various particle interactions in the jet or in other regions of the blazar. The spectral energy distribution of a blazar shows a two-bump structure. While the low-energy emission is explained by synchrotron radiation of highly energetic electrons, the high-energy part can contain contributions from hadrons too....

Recently, several observatories have discovered photons of cosmic origin with maximum energies in the PeV ($10^{15}\,\text{eV}$) range. Photons at these energies might be produced as by-products from particle acceleration in so-called PeVatrons, which are widely assumed to be the source of a large part of galactic cosmic rays. The first PeVatron to be firmly established was the Crab nebula, a...
